Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a leading manufacturer of embedded memory products, recently released industrial-grade TCG Opal encrypted solid-state drives (SSDs), elevating data security in an era of big data in which information is being collected and transmitted on vast scales. By complying with the TCG Opal 2.0 standards and IEEE 1667 specification, Transcend’s TCG Opal SSDs support Microsoft® eDrive functionality, delivering industry-leading security to high-end applications including defense, finance, digital entertainment, and smart healthcare.
Transcend’s Opal-compliant SSDs incorporate hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption; ensuring data is safeguarded starting from the manufacture of the storage device to system installation and management. As a self-encrypting device (SED), the TCG Opal SSDs will not impact host performance since encryption and decryption are conducted on the drives themselves instead of the host system, increasing the system speeds while mitigating data security risks.
In a world of high-performance computing, keeping data safe is crucial to organizations and enterprises. These Opal-compliant SSDs offer sector-specific security, allowing managers to grant different permissions to different users to ensure compartmentalized data security. The SSDs also feature pre-boot authentication; they can only be booted when the user is verified, preventing unauthorized access. Transcend also provides the TCG Opal Toolbox where password-setting and sector-specific permissions can be managed to enhance management efficiency on large deployments.
As a leading brand in embedded memory and storage products, Transcend is committed to the innovation of memory technology. We deliver a rich portfolio of embedded storage products, with a strong R&D team and well-trained tech support team deployed around the globe. Empowered by stable, long-term product supply and high-quality manufacturing based in Taiwan, Transcend will go the extra mile to create reliable storage solutions for embedded computing markets.
Transcend embedded SSDs are covered by a three-year limited warranty. For more information, please visit http://www.transcend-info.com/.
